Dhoedaam is a black tea estate located on Pretoria Street in India, at approximately 22.5° N latitude and 88.4° E longitude. The estate sits at an elevation of 11 metres above sea level and is operated by James Warren, a company with interests in multiple tea-growing properties across the country.
Terroir & Climate
At 11 metres above sea level, Dhoedaam occupies low-lying terrain characteristic of the alluvial plains in this part of India. Estates at such minimal elevation typically experience warm, humid conditions year-round, with little diurnal temperature variation. The flat topography and proximity to sea level generally mean that mist formation is less pronounced than in hill gardens, and heat accumulation during the growing season tends to be significant.
Growing conditions at this latitude and altitude usually support vigorous vegetative growth, with flush cycles that may be frequent during the monsoon and pre-monsoon months. Drainage and water management are often critical factors for estates on low-lying land, as waterlogging can affect root health and leaf quality. The terroir of such plains gardens generally favours volume and briskness over the more delicate aromatics associated with high-elevation sites.
Tea Produced
Dhoedaam produces black tea. Estates at low elevation in this region typically yield full-bodied, assertive blacks with pronounced malty or brisk characteristics. The warm growing conditions and rapid flush cycles often result in teas with strong colour and body, though the cup profile tends to emphasise strength and astringency rather than the floral or muscatel notes found in higher-altitude gardens. Such teas are commonly used in blends where robust flavour and good colour extraction are valued.
Operator
The estate is operated by James Warren, a company that manages a portfolio of tea properties in India. According to the directory, James Warren operates four other estates in addition to Dhoedaam, indicating a multi-estate operational structure with experience across different growing regions and elevations.
